However, the timeframes don't really add up when it comes to Bond 25.
Like many on this forum, everyday I wait with baited breath that today will bring news of Boyle's replacement. However, this news confirms that Craig has been set loose and Bond 25 has all but abdicated its November 2019 release. I don't think we'll get director news till the new year at the earliest.
This doesn't mean a November 2020 release, however, that is most likely as Eon will want to retool the script with a new helmer from the ground up. I imagine filming on Bond 25 will start in December 2019. Which gives Craig plenty of time to attempt some interesting work and build up his presence outside of Bond (something he hasn't really attempted to do before).
Bond 25's delay is pretty much guaranteed.
BOOM, it's over, forget November 2019, Bond 25 has been delayed.
But there's a small chance he could be 'tired' after filming this movie.
Using P & W at this point means that that they are being just as lazy and out of touch. Purvis said himself he doesn't know how to approach writing a Bond movie anymore. New Bond and new writers please, we already got a new studio!
Thank you @TripAces!
Yep. These Craig/Mendes/Babs frustration is becoming the signature mark of this community, unfortunately. Hopefully, things will change...
BTW this Craig/Johnson movie will mean a delay. 99% guaranteed...
When asked about getting Craig on board, Rian Johnson says the following:
“Then, serendipitously, we heard Daniel might have a small window, and it worked out. He’s an actor of extraordinary range, and we are looking forward to the fun of finding that modern detective, and collaborating with Daniel on creating a new Poirot.”
Also the article states:
Boyle’s abrupt exit from Bond 25 gave Johnson and Bergman an opening to pursue Craig, if he was up for squeezing in a movie before returning to his 007 franchise.
There's the possibility that Bond 25 could shoot in January and Craig has an 8 week window to work with Rian Johnson to get this new film made.
However, the likelihood is that Bond 25 is regrouping and going to shoot sometime in 2019 for a release in 2020. There's nothing to say Bond can't come out in spring or summer 2020. Plus Black Panther had great success releasing in February, the release schedules hardly matter these days.
It's blockbuster season all year round. I wouldn't be surprised if Bond 25 got a March 2020 release much like Batman v Superman did in 2016.
The thought crossed my mind. Maybe he's doing these two movies, so he has a tons of money, above the piles of money he already has, to spend on his child and retire from acting/take a long break from it. Like Rick Moranis.
Maybe he needs to escape.
Was wondering the same thing.
Rachel has a few projects in pre-production, maybe he is getting in a few projects now, before she goes back to work and he takes care of the bub.
It was SWLM on the big screen 1977 aged 5, first film and Bond film period at the cinema.
I've never been the same since.
Speaking of common decency...
You are insufferable.
Sorry, couldn´t resist.
The three years were wasted by the distributor haggling, we have no information on how Eon spent them.
I´m sure his condition to take on the role was that Johnson will direct Bond 25.
